ATL: NFL docks 5th rd pick for Cousins tampering -- nm - budice Jun 13, 08:00 8

SCOTUS upholds ability of FDA to decide how to regulate mifepristone -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 13, 07:10 13

Reagen, so they found the dumbest 1% of the young and even those idiots supported Biden? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 13, 06:56 3
- It's probably a bad idea to ignore polls entirely, but the idea that you can draw any grand conclusions from this one... -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 07:01 2
